Chillisauce:
15g a day? I will be like walking zombie.
I eat less carb so I guess my cube of sugar every norning is ok. I need my tea to wake up. No regime or edwife will take that away

A cube is fine. You eat healthy, so you have a big enough margin of error.

It's nice knowing three's someone as zealous as me out there. EfemenaXY una well done. God will crown our efforts.

Chillisauce has inspired me for next week. Okro soup is it.

Edwife, the body reacts to fructose (sugar) the same way. The sugar from honey, or apples, or refined sugar, or banana...are all the same fructose. You were right the other day. Too much fruits too can be bad. The liver is the only organ that can digest fructose. So too much of it overworks the liver.

the difference is the concentration though. A tea spoon of sugar = sugar in a whole banana.

I heard 15g of fructose or less is the ideal per day.

The body doesn't even need fructose. In the olden days, fructose in fruits were only available when fruits were ripe. But now, ripe fruits are available all year round plus the invention of refined sugar. An average person is now getting 50g (3 times the ideal) of fructose daily.

So chillisauce, 15g of sugar a day or less... or none at all.

How can one eat veggie raw bikonu?
This babe3 is going too far o.
Though I eat garden egg veggie raw. Very sweet.

See what mmy mummy usually do.
She will get ugu(pumpkin leave)and bitter leave. Soak inside salt and water, rinse then wash very well with little water and drink.
I have never tried that.
Heard it act as blood booster and cleanser too.
Detoxifier.

how do you think our fore-forefathers survived, without maggi amd salt?
They had to eat their veggies raw.

aflyingbird:
she was pregnant but getting abs was her main concern , mcheew. she definitely worked out her stomach excessively. poor baby , being squeezed into that little space , gosh. why not let ur baby grow n move freely n not be restricted to fit in ur tight belly

not saying women shud let themselves go when pregnant but gaining weight's part of pregnancy, nothing wrong with gaining a little when prego rather than obsessing over losing it

staying fit and healthy doesn't mean starving yourself. If she was starving herself, her baby wouldn't have been healthy.

Her baby is healthier than some women that double in size while pregnant. What could be the cause? A miracle?

Staying fit doesn't always translate to trying losing weight. Staying fit is just staying fit.

Fit people naturally have abs. They don't need to try or obsess over abs. Trust me, I know.

let's give credit when it's due. A lot of pregnant women wish they were in her shoes ( except they want to lie).

^^ That prosciutto slalad looks yummy! will try it.

bennyrazz:
coughs *** WTF! she definitely starved herself & the baby. That's wicked though. The stomach of some boys is way bigger than that especially when they load it with akpu looking at her shape and figure, you can deduce the whole swollen is concentrated at her stomach. No swollen arms, legs etc and two things are definitely involved.

1. It's either her baby is a midget

2. Her baby is suffering from kwashiorkor



PS: I hope some females out there especially some would be Nigerian mothers don't copy this. Eat good, live good, let your baby weigh at least 8 or 10 pounds

lies! That's the baby up there. 8lbs+ and very healthy.
Being pregnant doesn't mean you can't be fit and healthy; it doesn't mean you have to eat for two. Why do you think its sooooo hard for most pregnant mums to return to their original weight (before baby)?

Her doctor okay'd her eating and exercise regimen throughout her pregnancy.

Literally eating for two while pregnant is a myth and I'm glad this new mother has proven you skeptics wrong.
Nigerian mothers SHOULD copy this.
She's somewhere chilling with her flat tommy and her healthy baby, while most Nigerian mums are struggling with post baby weight loss.

#sheswinning

The baby was 8lbs 7 oz at birth.

Ewuro4:
OP is like a hot gay dude to single and searching ladies. So don't blame them. I understand where they're coming from.

Deeptesting, widen your search to other nationalities , your request is a piece of cake.

I forgot to add that. The two people I know that don't want kids are oyibos.

Nigerians can be sooooo judgmental. If you don't think the way they think, there must be something wrong with you.

Those people calling OP names are obviously living in a little bubble. They see world from their point of view and their POV alone.

How's OP selfish? Is he going to marry someone that wants kids then force them not to have kids? No. He specifically said he wants someone without the desire to have kids.

We can as well say women that go for Tall, dark and handsome dudes are selfish.


Deeptesting, don't mind them. I am sure there are women who don't want kids in this day and age. I actually know a few. Not every woman is obsessed with motherhood or kids.
Hopefully, you meet her. And if you don't, you can settle for a single parent.

Oyinbo po

I bought liver instead

Just finished boiling the spinach with half cube of Knorr seasoning, little salt and onions. The taste is

This journey go

Ideas on How to make a better spinach for This stuff. Googled it and did not get satisfactory results.

You have no choice but to eat it raw madam bukatyne . Raw or blanched.


I used to find ways to make vegetables easier to eat too. I had to give up (they tasted weird), and started eating them raw.

Or,

You could make efo riro with the spinach. The only thing that makes efo riro unhealthy is the amount of oil we put in it. So reduce the oil to the barest minimum. Use olive oil or any other plant based oil. All other ingredients for efo riro are healthy.



That should work.

EfemenaXY:
It sounds...interesting. But vinegar?

Yes. I cook with vinegar and white wine a lot. These "oyibo" foods tend to be too rich and sweet for my palate. So I cut the richness with a little bit of acid (wine or vinegar or lemon sometimes).

Balanced!

EfemenaXY:
I don't see the chicken in that oh. Where is it?

Had to google quiona. Looks like you've got chick peas in your lettuce? And Couscous on the side...

I put the chicken first, then avocado, then eggs, then peanuts. I love burst of different flavors and textures in my mouth when I'm eating a sandwich (lettuce-wich) . I put vinegar in the chicken too, for some acidity.

na quinoa, like what ladygogo posted, no be couscous. Though they're similar.

ladygogo:
Quinoa, chicken and veggies.
I hope my behind will be consistent.
@Babe i tried the jump squats you suggested and the regular squats. It was really energizing Exercise is good sha only if one can be determined and consistent.

Very happy to hear!

question: how do you get rid of the subtle bitter taste in quinoa?

cococandy:
Nothing is the deal.

If I was born buddhist or Islam, I would probably be here talking about how Mohammed or Buddha Has the message of love and life.


It is the religion I was born into and which suits my conscience. So no deal.
I don't think mine is more special than anyone else's.

Refreshing, coming from a Christian.

bukatyne:
Life is not always that way.

I grew up in a Christian household however the word never sunk because of the bias I had.

I decided to research to take a stand and I am glad I did.

Good for you.

cococandy:
As I am one of those fake feminists who got married and is a Christian.

I will get my full license when I decide to quit being married, quit being a Christian and start hating on men regardless of if such a man is good or bad.

Then the board that certifies true feminists founded and headed by pickabeau and babe will give me my license

What did babe do?

cococandy:
For me I don't think that's a problem really.
If I didn't pick what part of the bible to follow, I would be enemies with my non Christian neighbor because some part of the Old Testament prescribes killing them, looting their towns and raping their women for insulting the most high God.
That is why for me as Christian, my guide is the word out of Jesus' mouth himself.
I can't be naive or pretentious enough to say that I believe the humanness of other authors of the bible couldn't have gotten in the way of their message.

So how many Christians would really do what the bible says word for word?
I wouldn't want to be near such a person.

Because while Christ's message of love is eternal and can never be outdated no matter the setting in which we find ourselves(since very human being responds to love in a positive way)
The prevailing culture and practices at the time which undeniably colored the POVs of some of the writers have no place in the world of today.

Anyone who thinks I'm not a true Christian for saying this can go to his non-Christian neighbor's house and kill him for not being a follower or deny such a person job opportunity because the bible says we should not associate with non-christains.
Or Kill a self-confessed witch because the bible says we should not suffer a witch to live.

Then he or she can come back on NL and tell us how Christianly it felt to follow such biblical teaching verbatim.
A true follower of Christ will NEVER do word for word all that the bible teaches.

Needless to say Christ is not the author of the bible.

If the main message of Christ is love your neighbor as yourself, what makes Christianity so special then? Just asking.

Laozi, Buddha, Confucius, even Mohammed preached "love" Before any of them, there was love.
So, what's the deal ?

bukatyne:
Sure you didn't read my post.

I was telling baby How I felt before I studied the Bible.

That's my point madam bukatyne.

You shouldn't have felt that way before reading. You should have kept an open mind. That lowers the probability of you twisting facts and evidence.

Like my teachers used to tell me in school, don't choose a side on a subject before starting a research. Research, then choose a side.

bukatyne:
@babygirlfl,

The Bible is not sexist. It took me years to get to This point too.

I could cope more with sexist men than a sexist God. I mean the men met it (can't fault them), But the person that actually put me There and then claims to love me?

Tuah!

Read and studied and put everything in context.

P.S.: I do not use KJV though. I use NLT.

And that's a problem bukatyne. If you want to find the truth you have to be open minded. You can't seek truth with a biased mind.

That's a problem with most religious folks. They're too stuck in their religious way to ask questions. And even when they ask questions, they're scared of a "wrong" answer.

You have to break shït down to build. You have to break your biased foundation (with Christianity) to truly learn.

You can't wrap your mind around God being sexist so even if you're presented with the truth, you'll find ways to make it false. Coz your scared your whole belief system (everything you know about God) could be a lie.


I didn't mean to get all preachy. it had to be said.

That's why it's hard for me to learn on here. Most people, including me, have a biased view ( a preconceived notion) before even starting a debate.

bukatyne:
Did you get that from my post?

Does finding a wife end a family?

So his headship continues after he's found the wife. Ok
IN the family/marriage, he is the head, according to you. Ok.

Why is he still the head after he's found his wife? What's wrong with two heads or the wife being the head?

Coz I'm sure a lot of thoughts must have gone into the decision making of giving the man the head role. Why was he the best choice ?

No one has been able to give me a clear answer. I asked stillfire she ran away. Maybe vickybee can help answer.

bukatyne:
It boils down to your definition of 'head'

A man is the source of his family; Ideally, he decides to build a family and finds a wife himself/asks God or Satan (depending on his preference)

So you're saying, his headship ends after he has found his wife ?

Vickybee:
12 disciples weren't the most important people to him.

He, working with men doesn't make him a sexist or anything. Maybe it's people he felt convienent with.

By the way, he has to make a demeaning words about women before he can be called a sexist/misogynist.
What is it, then?

Who was as important to jesus as the 12 disciples?
Beyoncé johanna? Johanna was so important to christ that there is a gospel according to st'johanna in the bible. The book is right after Mathew.

So a man has to say "woman are useless or half-useless" before he can be considered sexist?

Pdizzle:
Why blame uncle Paul, Christains both men and women believe the bible was written under the influence of the holy spirit. Oh wait the spirit is sexist too

Stillfire:
Equal opportunity between men? Lol. Look below.



The New Testament presupposes a fundamental equality because all humans are created in God’s image (James 3:9). Yet, an even deeper unity in Christ transcends human boundaries and social structures: no Jew or Greek, slave or free, no male and female, as all believers are all “one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28; cp. Colossians 3:11).

we're not talking about heavenly matters. When we get to heaven all of us will be on the same level (so they say). Heaven.. the extra magical disneyland.

So you do accept that there's an hierarchy on earth? Good. And jesus was okay with it? Sweet. If he wasn't, he would have spoken on women's rights. Cool.

Back to my question Stillfire, why did he make the husband the head, if we're all "one in Christ"?

Stillfire:
Jesus was for equal opportunity. He told us to treat ourselves as one, love your neighbor as yourself, no be equality be that? , so yes He was and is a feminist.

...and not once did he preach against slavery. Slaves were actually part of his sermons. He taught his followers to treat their slaves well. You can have slaves but treat them well.

... same applies to women/feminism. "Treat each other well but there's an hierarchy. Men are men. Women are women. Slaves are slaves. "



He made man the head in marriage? Marraige: arguably the most important institution. how? Why?

coogar:
Jesus never fought for their rights throughout. a woman couldn't even go to the temple during her menstrual flow. she's deemed unclean. a woman couldn't teach or preach the scriptures. her role then was to breed & groom kids.



how can Jesus be a feminist when He's not a flaming hypocrite? one must be hypocritical & 2-faced to be a feminist. feminism condemns men who choose how their women should live.

so who gave feminists the right to choose how fellow women should live? some women don't want to be equal to their men. they like the role of being 2nd in command and they want their husband to rule them absolutely.

Abi o? Not once in the bible did jesus, peter and paul carry placards to demonstrate.
If jesus was not okay with the gender status quo then, won't he have said or done something---- something miraculous?
not once did jesus say the woman's place is not in the kitchen.

bukatyne:
When you are ready, give me a mention.

I dey ready for this bit.

Why did he make man the head in marraige? If God or jesus isn't sexist, why is there a head in marraige and why is he a man?

Stillfire:
What's the argument again? Someone should fill me in? I keep on seeing Jesus, Jesus (in Igbo accent) everywhere.

is/was jesus a feminist ?

bukatyne:
Em let's cut the rude remarks.

Jesus had 12 male disciples and a number of female ones like Mary, Susannah, Johanna etc. Some married.

Jesus was a single male and common sense dictated that his close allies were male So as not to ruin his testimony. We would not want rumors of immorality amongst the disciples.

Mary was not So close with Jesus yet There are schools of thought that Mary was Jesus' wife.

The hierarchy is only in marriage . In non-martial relationships, people were related to accordingly or through a mediator (priest).

Eve was not an afterthought. Read Gen 1:26-28.

Eve was formed from Adam's ribs to show the symbolic oneness marriage brings.

Adam called Eve 'woman' because she is the bone of his bone and the flesh of his flesh. Not because she was beneath him.

it's not only johanna.. Beyoncé nko?

We'll take this debate to the religion section later. Too many points to dissect.

My question is short and sweet, even in marraige, why did he make man the head??

cococandy:
jesus had female disciples/apostles.
I don't want to go into all that.

please do. In that same bible? I'm not talking about the ones that came after his death.

I'm talking about hand-picked disciples. The ones he chose himself.

Gen 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Gen 2: 18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.


It's either there are two different versions of the creation story (genesis 1 and genesis 2) OR Moses was high and half asleep when he was writing genesis.


The help God was talking about wasn't even eve, it was animals. He created animals before eve.

pickabeau1:
The creation was not an afterthought

The manifestation of woman in physical form came after though

bukatyne:
The Jesus I know in the Bible is not sexist neither is God or the Holy Spirit.

It is either of three things:

A man is superior to a woman
A man is equal to a woman
A man is inferior to a woman.

I have not read anywhere in the Bible God designed a man to be superior to a woman and there is a difference between the customs and what God wants.

I thought God was sexist until I learned to dig deeper.

can you address the 12 MALE disciples situation? why Mathew and Markk? Why not a Vickybee and Bukatyne?

and you do realize the creation of woman was an afterthought? "It's not cool for a man to be alone, let's make someome that looks like him out of his rib".

if God was a feminist he would have created adam and eve in the same second.


I know it's hard for a modern day Christian to accept the fact that God and jesus are sexist. So you try your best possible to manipulate and twist facts until you're comfortable with your lies.

The hierarchy in the bible from genesis to revelation is
--MAN
--woman
-- animals

even in.marraige
- jesus
-husband
-wife
-kids

coogar:
after what eve did to adam, Jesus wouldn't let any female have that kinda access. it's not impossible for satan to have possessed a woman to seduce Jesus.........and we all know women of those days had a good understanding with satan.

don't mind these people trying to paint jesus as a feminist.
every single man then was sexist. It wasn't a sin or crime. The woman's place was in the kitchen. That was the modus operandi.

Jesus was NOT a feminist! I read somewhere that jesus is the unchangeable changer. So therefore, the feminist wave didn't affect jesus or God. He still isn't a feminist! He's still very much sexist.

Vickybee:
1) He revered an adulterous woman.

2) He had only earthly mother without father.

3) Three women were first to see him at the tomb.

4) A woman commanded him for his first miracle.

5) a woman was the source of our salvation

You say?

1) so?

2) so Mary being a single mum means jesus isn't sexist?

3) that was all women were good for to jesus; good for amebo and reporting. Plus, did jesus have control over who saw him first? C'mon now..

4) his job was to perform miracles on earth, innit? Whoever commanded the miracle is irrelevant.

5) Duh! The woman has the womb. That's biology
That's a woman playing her natural role. Who should have given birth to jesus before? Joseph? ??

How about you address the fact that the 12 most important people to jesus were MEN. He had control over who he chose to be his discipline. He decided to go with men, why?
